220     (3)(a)1.  As used in this section, a motor vehicle or
221mobile home is a "total loss":
222     a.  When an insurance company pays the vehicle owner to
223replace the wrecked or damaged vehicle with one of like kind and
224quality or when an insurance company pays the owner upon the
225theft of the motor vehicle or mobile home; or
226     b.  When an uninsured motor vehicle or mobile home is
227wrecked or damaged and the cost, at the time of loss, of
228repairing or rebuilding the vehicle is 80 percent or more of the
229cost to the owner of replacing the wrecked or damaged motor
230vehicle or mobile home with one of like kind and quality.
231     2.  A motor vehicle or mobile home shall not be considered
232a "total loss" if the insurance company and owner of a motor
233vehicle or mobile home agree to repair, rather than to replace,
234the motor vehicle or mobile home. However, if the actual cost to
235repair the motor vehicle or mobile home to the insurance company
236exceeds 100 percent of the cost of replacing the wrecked or
237damaged motor vehicle or mobile home with one of like kind and
238quality, the owner shall forward to the department, within 72
239hours after the agreement, a request to brand the certificate of
240title with the words "Total Loss Vehicle." Such a brand shall
241become a part of the vehicle's title history.
242     (b)  The owner, including persons who are self-insured, of
243any motor vehicle or mobile home which is considered to be
244salvage shall, within 72 hours after the motor vehicle or mobile
245home becomes salvage, forward the title to the motor vehicle or
246mobile home to the department for processing. However, an
247insurance company which pays money as compensation for total
248loss of a motor vehicle or mobile home shall obtain the
249certificate of title for the motor vehicle or mobile home and,
250within 72 hours after receiving such certificate of title, shall
251forward such title to the department for processing. The owner
252or insurance company, as the case may be, may not dispose of a
253vehicle or mobile home that is a total loss before it has
254obtained a salvage certificate of title or certificate of
255destruction from the department. When applying for a salvage
256certificate of title or certificate of destruction, the owner or
257insurance company must provide the department with an estimate
258of the costs of repairing the physical and mechanical damage
259suffered by the vehicle for which a salvage certificate of title
260or certificate of destruction is sought. If the estimated costs
261of repairing the physical and mechanical damage to the vehicle
262are equal to 80 percent or more of the current retail cost of
263the vehicle, as established in any official used car or used
264mobile home guide, the department shall declare the vehicle
265unrebuildable and print a certificate of destruction, which
266authorizes the dismantling or destruction of the motor vehicle
267or mobile home described therein. However, if the damaged motor
268vehicle is equipped with custom-lowered floors for wheelchair
269access or a wheelchair lift, the insurance company may, upon
270determining that the vehicle is repairable to a condition that
271is safe for operation on public roads, submit the certificate of
272title to the department for reissuance as a salvage rebuildable
273title and the addition of a title brand of "insurance-declared
274total loss." The This certificate of destruction shall be
275reassignable a maximum of two times before dismantling or
276destruction of the vehicle shall be required, and shall
277accompany the motor vehicle or mobile home for which it is
278issued, when such motor vehicle or mobile home is sold for such
279purposes, in lieu of a certificate of title, and, thereafter,
280the department shall refuse issuance of any certificate of title
281for that vehicle. Nothing in this subsection shall be applicable
282when a vehicle is worth less than $1,500 retail in undamaged
283condition in any official used motor vehicle guide or used
284mobile home guide or when a stolen motor vehicle or mobile home
285is recovered in substantially intact condition and is readily
286resalable without extensive repairs to or replacement of the
287frame or engine. Any person who willfully and deliberately
288violates this paragraph or falsifies any document to avoid the
289requirements of this paragraph commits a misdemeanor of the
290first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s.
291775.083.
292     (4)  It is unlawful for any person to have in his or her
293possession any motor vehicle or mobile home when the
294manufacturer's or state-assigned identification number plate or
295serial plate has been removed therefrom.
296     (a)  Nothing in this subsection shall be applicable when a
297vehicle defined in this section as a derelict or salvage was
298purchased or acquired from a foreign state requiring such
299vehicle's identification number plate to be surrendered to such
300state, provided the person shall have an affidavit from the
301seller describing the vehicle by manufacturer's serial number
302and the state to which such vehicle's identification number
303plate was surrendered.
304     (b)  Nothing in this subsection shall be applicable if a
305certificate of destruction has been obtained for the vehicle.
306     (5)(a)  It is unlawful for any person to knowingly possess,
307sell, or exchange, offer to sell or exchange, or give away any

309identification number plate or serial plate of any motor
310vehicle, mobile home, or derelict that has been sold as salvage
311contrary to the provisions of this section, and it is unlawful
312for any person to authorize, direct, aid in, or consent to the
313possession, sale, or exchange or to offer to sell, exchange, or
314give away such certificate of title or manufacturer's or state-
315assigned identification number plate or serial plate.
316     (b)  It is unlawful for any person to knowingly possess,
317sell, or exchange, offer to sell or exchange, or give away any

320removed from the motor vehicle or mobile home for which it was
321manufactured, and it is unlawful for any person to authorize,

323or to offer to sell, exchange, or give away such manufacturer's
324or state-assigned identification number plate or serial plate.
325     (c)  This chapter does not apply to anyone who removes,
326possesses, or replaces a manufacturer's or state-assigned
327identification number plate, in the course of performing repairs
328on a vehicle, that require such removal or replacement. If the
329repair requires replacement of a vehicle part that contains the
330manufacturer's or state-assigned identification number plate,
331the manufacturer's or state-assigned identification number plate
332that is assigned to the vehicle being repaired will be installed
333on the replacement part. The manufacturer's or state-assigned
334identification number plate that was removed from this
335replacement part will be installed on the part that was removed
336from the vehicle being repaired.
